SPoRT Virtual Workshop2012 September 12-13 AWIPS II Status Jason Burks, Matt Smith, Kevin McGrath
AWIPS I to AWIPS II • NWS Moving to AWIPS II, SPoRT wants to provide data on native Decision Support System • Assessment of Plug-ins needed at time: • MODIS data in McIDAS (image) • LMA data in NetCDF (image/3D) • Other unimplemented in AWIPS I • Surveyed existing Raytheon Plug-ins • Satellite plug-in • Grib2 plug-in • Require custom plug-ins.
Schedule Change The previous schedule had almost all WFOs being transitioned to AWIPS II by the end of calendar 2012. The new schedule has all remaining WFOs transitioning AFTER the approval of all Field OT&E offices. HUN is an OT&E site
Status NOAA/NWS and Raytheon are still forging the governance process. Several groups will be involved (SPoRT, CIMSS, CIRA, Unidata, et al.) SPoRT is on the cutting edge of trying out governance policy.
AWIPS II Plug-in Architecture HDF5 Raw Data DAO Data Plug-in EDEX Plug-in Data Plug-in CAVE Viz Plug-in PostgreSQL • EDEX plug-in - handles data ingest/decoding. • Data plug-in – Object Data Model • Viz plug-in - communicates with DAO to retrieve data and provides visualization in CAVE.
Product Status • SPoRT has developed plug-ins for about 90% of SPoRT’s products. • Total Lightning • Satellite imagery (McIDAS) • Convective Initiation • Smoke (new) • Hot Spots (new) • We plan to have the final 10% ready within the next several months • LIS, WRF, other model output (GRIB2) • Ocean Wind Vector (new)
Lightning Tracking Tool Total lightning jumps are sometimes related to severe weather. Forecasters can quickly track several storms, charting their intensity.
Current and Ongoing • Pioneering NOAA AWIPS II governance procedures • Upcoming SPoRT visit to CIRA in October 2012 • Share AWIPS II development experiences • Discuss formalized collaboration and upcoming developer training • Upcoming Experimental Product Development Team (EPDT) to address SPoRT and PG Applications • Developer Workshop in mid-November • ~13 people: Some from each NWS Region and Proving Ground Partners
Future • Additions to McIDAS plug-in • Additional projections • Additional products • Implement various RGB approaches for display within the SPoRT data feed • Develop more SPoRT unique tools and displays for interrogation of data • 3D Lightning data, along with cross sections
